You love your car, but so does everybody else. In fact, some might love your car a little too much! According to carinsurance.org, a car gets stolen about once every 42 seconds. Roughly speaking, that's probably the same amount of time it will take you to get through this entire article. Who's spending their time more productively now?
To combat car theft and to generate awareness, carinsurance.org has created an effective info-graphic chart for vehicle owners. While the most of us are pretty diligent when it comes to locking our cars before walking away, there are still a significant number of instances recorded where vehicles were discovered not only unlocked, but also left unattended with the keys in the ignition. As far as carinsurance.org is concerned, an unlocked vehicle with the keys left in place might as well have a bright neon sign to make it a little easier for theives.
Ultimately, sometimes the best protection against common unpleasantries in life is to simply keep yourself aware, informed, and knowledgeable.
